al railroad commission at its session at
Rutland September l. The Governor has
appointed X. Haskins Of Brattleboro as
attorney. aud il is said that Senator Ed
munds has volunteered to assist. The
chief complaint is that the lines forming
the Central Vermont and Grand Trunk
combination to the west charge much
more in proportion for freight to points in
Vermont than to Detroit, Chicago and
other western points. There is no doubt
as to the facts, and there is little doubt
that il they did not give cheap rates for
Western freight. they would get none to
carry, Our national law cannot control
roads 10 Canada and the Grand Trunk
and Canadian Pacific can put their rates
down as low as they please.
